Amid some of pro football’s greatest players, a Utah high schooler and girls’ football advocate got the last word in a Super Bowl ad Sunday night.
Sam Gordon, the 15-year-old Herriman High School sophomore who started a league for girls when she was 9, delivered the punchline in the National Football League’s ad to launch NFL 100, the celebration of the league’s centennial.
The ad features a roster of dozens of NFL greats of the past and present — including Jim Brown, Joe Montana, Peyton Manning, Tom Brady, Barry Sanders, and so on — at a banquet presided over by NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell.
